PSN Thursday: Classic Call of Duty, Bayonetta demo beckon

by Randy Nelson { Dec 3rd 2009 at 6:15PM } PlayStation

If you hadn't already used that totally legit Japanese PSN account to scoop up the demo of Platinum Games' Bayonetta, today's your chance to play the official US preview of the game. If you've already played Japan's demo, well, you've played this one. PS3 also gets the original Call of Duty, in the event that you must play COD but are waiting for the Javelin glitch in Modern Warfare 2 to be fixed before engaging in any more of its multiplayer.

There's also a batch of add-on content for PS3 titles, including Tekken 6 -- and, as promised, that one's free. So is festive LittleBigPlanet costume content in the form of a Santa suit for Sackboy. Oh, and we can't forget: PSP Minis (yes, they live!).

European PSN releases for December 3

by Griffin McElroy { Dec 3rd 2009 at 12:45PM } PlayStation

The wait to try out Sega/Platinum Games' over-the-top, demon/angel-slaying action title Bayonetta is finally over. The demo for the title is the highlight of this week's European PSN update, joined by a whole bunch of DLC for Fight Night Round 4, an Ezio Auditore costume for LittleBigPlanet and roughly 17,000 Rock Band tracks. That's just a quick estimate, but we think it should be pretty accurate.

While Americans prep Thanksgiving dinner, the rest of the world moves on as usual. Today's European PSN update adds all the Fallout 3 DLC, along with Borderlands' "Zombie Island" expansion. For PSP users, two new Minis are available: Blast Off and Dracula -- Undead Awakening (pictured). Now, please pardon us while we go get the stuffing ready.

by Alexander Sliwinski { Nov 24th 2009 at 6:38PM } PlayStation

Check out the full PSN update after the break to find more things to do while avoiding family obligations this weekend.

PSN Thursday: 'Peggle' is now a killing word, Muad'Dib

by Alexander Sliwinski { Nov 19th 2009 at 6:25PM } PlayStation

"A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then, that is is the year 10191. The known universe is ruled by the Emperor Björn the Super Guide. In this time, the most precious substance in the universe is the Peggle. The Peggle extends life. The Peggle expands consciousness. The Peggle is vital to space travel. PopCap Games and its designers, who the Peggle has mutated over 8000 years, use the frequency emitted by the dropping balls across pegs to fold space. That is, travel to any part of the universe without moving. Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you. The Peggle exists ... everywhere, it is all around us, sniff it up and fold some space... wheeeeeeeee! Check out the full PSN update after the break." -- Princess Tula Sunflower

European PSN releases for November 19

by Griffin McElroy { Nov 19th 2009 at 10:20AM } PlayStation

As promised in last week's European PSN update, today has reversed the recent slowdown of additions to the service. There's plenty of stuff to check out in the list after the jump, including the original Metal Gear Solid, Critter Crunch, a new Beatles: Rock Band track pack and LittleBigPlanet for the PSP. Sadly, there's no ridiculously named PSP Minis to make fun of this week. (We miss you, Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam!)

PSN Thursday: 'Braid' Dita Von Teese's hair

by Alexander Sliwinski { Nov 12th 2009 at 9:40PM } PlayStation


During the same week that Braid finally discovers a point in time to arrive on the PSN, we can't help but notice that burlesque sensation Dita Von Teese has a theme for the PS3 and PSP available. Ms. Von Teese certainly makes a better theme than Hot Pockets, but we're just surprised to see the $2 item in the store. Now ... um, can we get a dynamic theme?

European PSN releases for November 12

by Griffin McElroy { Nov 12th 2009 at 10:15AM } PlayStation

Okay, so there's a metric ton of add-on content in this week's European PSN update (including new stuff for EyePet and Rag Doll Kung Fu) but, once again, it skimps somewhat on the playable goodies -- not that you need anything else to play at the moment. Still, PlayStation.Blog promises that next week will bring a "nice stream of content" which will make us "pleased." Speculation, engage!

PSN Thursday: Try Trine, Get Gex

by Andrew Yoon { Nov 5th 2009 at 7:20PM } PlayStation

PS3 owners don't have much to download, with Numblast (pictured above) and Military Madness the sole new games on PSN this week. For your retro thrills, Gex crawls out of the Not-Very-Popular-PS1-Mascots Archive. Make sure you get the free LBP birthday costume, and don't miss out on the Trine demo (especially if you're on the fence!). PSP owners have a lot more to choose from with the addition of Numblast, Dissidia, Ghostbusters and a free MotorStorm: Arctic Edge demo.

European PSN releases for November 5

by Griffin McElroy { Nov 5th 2009 at 10:20AM } PlayStation

It's another slightly skimpy week on the ol' European PSN update. Let's see ... there's some Brutal Legend DLC, a few new Rock Band tracks, and -- oh! We finally got that PSOne Classic featuring everyone's favorite Square Enix hero: Party Time with Winnie the Pooh. What? He was in Kingdom Hearts, remember?

PSN Thursday: Take Ratchet, Fat Princess, LocoRoco, Jak and Daxter for a test drive

by Alexander Sliwinski { Oct 29th 2009 at 8:45PM } PlayStation

There are plenty of nice demos to try out with this week's PSN Update. For PS3 owners, the second Ratchet and Clank demo is available, with players taking control of the lombax with a weapon fetish. Also, there's the demo for the big girl inside of us all, as Fat Princess stuffs herself into a smaller size offering. Meanwhile, on PSP, the happiest blobs in this LocoRoco: Midnight Carnival world, along with the very angry Jak and Daxter, offer up demos. Check out the full PSN update after the break.

by Griffin McElroy { Oct 29th 2009 at 11:47AM } PlayStation


Don't call it a comeback! Well, okay, call it a comeback if you must -- after last week's sorry showing, the European PSN releases from this week are fairly phenomenal. There's a pair of demos for Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, new content for DJ Hero, EyePet and PAIN, as well as the full version of LocoRoco Midnight Carnival. Check after the jump for the full list!

PSN Thursday: The time for Trine

by Alexander Sliwinski { Oct 22nd 2009 at 8:15PM } PlayStation


After a "last-minute bug" delayed its PSN release back in July, with a hold-up in quality assurance in September, it appears that it's finally time for tryin' Trine. Then again, with the way Critter Crunch (demo out now) sold, it appears folks are into their big holiday retail titles at the moment. Admit it, you're playing Uncharted 2 for the third time right now. Check out the full PSN update after the break.

European PSN releases for October 22

by Griffin McElroy { Oct 22nd 2009 at 10:46AM } PlayStation

Yeesh. To say the European PSN update hit a dry spell this week would be offensive to dry spells. Let's see, we got ... some DLC for EyePet, those ten Queen songs for Rock Band, and ... some DLC for Hannah Montana: Rock Out The Show. One piece of this downloadable content is something called a "Hannah Montana Fashion Add-on," causing us to wonder what type of fashion is present in the game without this content in place. We may never know.

PSN Thursday: Begun, the Mushroom Wars have

by Alexander Sliwinski { Oct 15th 2009 at 8:18PM } PlayStation

The PSN update returns this week with another game that looks adorable and safe, yet conceals some disturbing ideas. Mushroom Wars looks beautiful and innocent, but like any good RTS, it's all about exterminating the competition. Genocide isn't supposed to be cute. This comes following Capybara's Critter Crunch, last week's "cute, yet disturbing game," and remember Fat Princess? That wasn't all that long ago either. We're sensing a theme ... a theme we can't help but put money down on. Check out the full PSN update after the break.
